Has anyone found one without the date?
Has anyone thought it is all a marketing ploy?
marketing? From the Mint? They dont sell anything? In fact they appear to be giving cash out for free.
What marketing ploy is that then?do they need to sell more 20p's?

I think you'll find The Royal Mint aren't offering £50 at all.
Well spotted. However still not sure its marketing, or how you make a business from buying 20ps for £50.
I even popped a quid or 2 into those change machines lol
Oh well had to try.
Anyone got a quid I have some 20p's to change...
Well, by marketing, I mean promotion. Perhaps I am being a bit dim here - but they DO like to promote their new coins and the like. I just saw it as self-prtomotion.

Check out ebay.
a few selling for over £1000 on ebay!
I have one...
but unfortunately it has a date on it 🙁
I got one last night in my change from buying a curry.
Double win 😀
Not sure wether to sell it now or wait
a few selling for over £1000 on ebay!
eh? but you only get £50!
I thought I had one last night, but it was just a different design one that had the date somewhere else.

I'm not in marketing, but I'm not sure that announcing you're recalling something because you've royally cocked it up, is necessarily the best way to promote it.
Im a bit confused, i've got this one [url= http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/20P-COIN-THE-ROYAL-COAT-OF-ARMS-UNDATED-ON-REVERSE_W0QQitemZ290328189177QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Coins_OtherBritish_RL?hash=item4398e898f9&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12|66%3A2|39%3A1|72%3A1684|240%3A1308|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50 ]here[/url] and they are selling it for/trying to sell it for £39!!
Its got a date, so is this just someone trying to con people?
that's the one I had yesterday lightman, it's not one of the £50 20ps
A few are on Ebay at bin £1000 but that doesnt mean they are going to get that much.
The £50 is a company called the London Mint that will buy them for that knowing full well they are worth more. £200 seems to be a pretty standard ebay price at the moment.
[i]A few are on Ebay at bin £1000 but that doesnt mean they are going to get that much.[/i]
Some have gone for over that, £5,800 was the highest yesterday.
Reports now say it went for £7,100.
yes, but did the buyer cough up?
[i]yes, but did the buyer cough up? [/i]
No idea but don't think it was IWH who bought it.
Why does it now appear that every 20p is worth money?
People seem to be getting around £5 for a standard 20p!! with no date on the Queens head side, which from looking through all the 20p's i have, is how they are made, as they have a date on the other side.
Does this mean i've got around £100 of 20p's???

There's a lot of people ripping-off a lot of people...
A lot of idiots on E-Bay who haven't read the small print of the articles then!
And a lot of people making money out of it...
Is anyone else tempted to shove their 20p on E-Bay and see what happens?
I seem to have one of the real deals - no date! Spent much of Monday going through my piggybanks but no joy - found it in my change today! Offers to jemerson@stw
